I came from USA to work in Kerala & I remember wealthier people were overweight, bad skin, while poorer people in were slim, glowing skin, white teeth. Made me question my eating habits!
@MedlifeCrisis
Glad to see this being covered. The problems aren’t unique to India but we have a few adverse issues stacked against us. South Asians appear to develop diabetes and cardiovascular disease at a lower BMI and no one is quite sure why. There is a theory that the famines mentioned in the video, especially severe during Empire, have genetically “primed” Indians to develop this. South Asians are hugely over represented among my patients in spite of making up small numbers of the overall population in the UK, and develop problems at a young age. Secondly Indian food is labour intensive so as women already shoulder most of childcare and household duties, as they have entered the workplace, they are particularly susceptible to choosing processed options that might make their life easier when feeding the family, thirdly Indian work culture is intense (see Narayana Murthy just yesterday proposing a 70 hour work week) so even young single people simply don’t have the time to make healthy choices and cook at home. Swiggy etc is too easy. The change in average waistline since my birth in the 80s has been so dramatic. But money rules all and every government welcomes in multinationals.
@varshasindhu5672
One BIG problem is that adults are constantly giving sugar and junk food to kids. They think it is a treat for kids and shows love for the child. If you try to stop them, they consider you too strict and a joy-killer. All junk food should be labelled as “Unsafe for children’s consumption”.
@littlestar5737
We visited my aunt's house in India few years back. She was so proud telling us how "modern" Indian food industry has become since BK, McD, KFC and other fast food chains entered Indian markets. According to her Maggi noodles was equivalent to a home cooked meal. Personally, I think we've stopped listening to our bodies and often ignore early signs.
@Invincible_joe
It's a common myth that we are becoming obese coz of western food, which is not entirely true. Our food such as Samosa, Vadapav, jalebi and many other fried fitters are just as bad as a burger or Pizza. What really is causing obesity in Indians is the fact that we're becoming more and more sedentary and not moving as much as we're eating. When you don't exercise or exert urself, and even if u don't eat junk food or sugary drinks, you're still prone to obesity because whatever you're eating, isn't being consumed by body entirely and genetically it gets stored as fats. One can eat as much healthy food as they want but the bottom line remains the fact that we NEED to exercise mandatorily.
@beatbuildersstudio
I used to work for a big pharma company. The sad thing about 10 years ago they were predicting a rise in diabetes in India. They were happy because that meant selling more diabetes drugs. They really werent trying to tackle the cause of the problem.
@mirrazashah8961
I am in my mid-twenties struggling with being overweight, there are too many factors leading to the obesity. 1. Sedentary Lifestyle 2. Overeating as a solution to managing stress. 3. Socializing with family and friends means access to more food 4. Pop-up of thousands of F&B options 5. Lack of knowledge amongst the public about proper nutrition and fitness.
@ShailendraSingh-ex6yj
Everyone here is commenting on the food. Literally, our cities/towns are designed in such a way that public access to parks, bicycle lanes etc. is limited, the choice is between an expensive (consider the median income) indoor workout facility or barely any cardio.
@boneym328
I’m a Keralite living in a western country. My dad used to wake me up and my sister at 6:00 AM and make us exercise before going to school everyday. We as a family works out including my mom and eat healthy. I still goes to gym, so my dad who is in his 60s. He is hitting hard in gym and lose 15 kgs recently. I’m proud of my upbringing.
@posteroonie
The same pattern has been repeated numerous times: USA, Mexico, Philippines, etc. Western companies are often the spearhead but even without them local businessmen see the fast food business model and start to provide pizza, sugary drinks, processed snack foods, etc.
@RAYDEEY17
First world problems are becoming common in third world countries. People think eating KFC or McDonalds is cool. I'm a Ghanaian, in Ghana the youth are patronising in these foods. Home cooked meals are becoming a thing of the past. I fear this might get out of hand, fizzy drinks and sodas are also very popular here.
@zotsuu5240
I just want to say I was overweight 97 kgs to be precise on 10th November 2021, Today is 7th November 2023 almost 2 years and I am 66.7kgs. My height is 5’8. The only advice I can give is buy a kitchen scale and be in calorie deficit. No 30 min abs workout or drinking honey lemon water is going to help you.
@Butters-ly3hq
It's not just about physical health, when I was around 15 I was struggling with my academics alot, it's only now years later that i realised that my poor diet at the time had a direct influence on that as well.
@RJ-kp6pr
I had to lol at the “much of India’s history has been blighted by famine” bit. Much of Indian history hasn’t actually been blighted by famine…the famines she’s referring to were actually created by the Brits during their oppressive 200 year rule. It’s not like India and Indians somehow are just naturally predisposed to famines.
@newkcrowe
I worked in India for 6 months 7 years ago and I remember seeing how all my Indian coworkers ate and was shocked more weren’t obese. All they ate was fried carbs, naan, and rice. We were all in our mid 20s, and some I swear never ate a vegetable the entire time if it wasn’t fried or a pizza topping
@RandomBerserker
I am from that era where schools didn't have canteens and we used to eat healthy home-cooked meals such as chapati, rice, and vegetables(sabzi). Which used to be healthy and tasty, but now parents are both working, don't have time to cook meals for their children's, and it's really heartbreaking because it's not just a food we're giving up on; it's the culture of our food we're letting down.
@THETRIVIALTHINGS
It is truly baffling how in a country where a large portion of the population is starving, there is an obesity problem. This is the biggest indicator of a huge wealth gap and class gap within the country.
@anirudha4176
It's been a year since I completely stopped eating junk food and I've lost a lot of weight and my moods have drastically improved too. I've completely lost cravings for those processed foods as well. These foods have a terrible effect on both your short term/long term health.
@ruralhobo
I'm really surprised by this because I grew up in India and always found its non-fast food delicious. Also when I studied agriculture I learned how incredibly wise traditional Indian cooking is in terms of protein (balancing aminoacids) and vitamins. I went back to rice with dahl and/or slightly acidic curries (through yoghurt or tamarind) to get my BMI back under 25 and it worked.
@spacetime3
This is so important for Indians and Indian parents to understand. We are affected 3 fold not just by our unregulated marketing of foods that we have in India we also have a genetic predisposition due to the famines of the past & and like America we don't have socialized Health care. Regardless of history, the important message is even more important that we address this issue now before we have an unfit and useless population that can't defend itself or even pay for its medical care we will see huge numbers of unnecessary deaths and in India, if you have huge medical bills that can cripple the poor and middle class you won't see any mobility. DO NOT become a cash cow for unscrupulous companies profiteering on human addiction and evil marketing tactics, no one will save you.
@iamsid23
Nobody, I mean nobody reads the calorie count and portion size given on the back of processed foods. This should be taught early on what needs to be consumed. I used to enjoy a glass of Bourvita and processed cereals for breakfast. That's an easy 800-1000 calories with a high sugar count. And yet I used to still feel hungry by Lunchtime. Glad at 32 years old I have cut down on many of these things and I wish I had known some of these things a lot earlier.
@jayd2204
I think it's not just the food that needs to be changed but the mental health also needs to be address. They both are lixed together. Having a bad day, people will junk and now too much junk food will put them into bad mental health.
@Mr.Showbiz
A very similar situation where I live in Malaysia. Highly processed snacks and foods being sold on all corners at all times of day, horrible work-life balance so no time or energy to cook, lack of / completely decrepit community areas so no way to play sports or do physical activity without having to drive halfway across town.
@SH-gg3up
Time. Plain and simple. Indian food takes a lot of time to prepare generally speaking. Additionally, both parents are usually working long hours these days and joint family structures are not very common anymore. This breakup of family time takes a toll on everyone.
@sashamellon822
No body ate out 2023 years ago, mc Donald’s was so expensive you couldn’t afford it. Everyone cooked at home when a guest came and the local sweet maker or savoury maker would cook things from scratch in their shop and you would bring them over once in a blue moon. Even fruit juice was impossibly expensive. The only occasional treat was maggi noodles which did make you feel sick. Cook at home from scratch and you won’t be obese.
@Fizmoo
Obesity time bomb is quite a bit of an exaggeration. I mean 8% obese men and 12% obese women in 2035 while in most of Latin America it's now already approaching 30% and it's now already 42% in the usa. It will probably be close to 50% in those countries by 2035... the numbers of India aren't too bad then.
@sainarockz
For years Indian women who were disrespected and whose work was seen as having no value by the men, used to invest their time in cooking healthy meals at home. Now women have started going out to work and earning. So with more money and less time, children have more autonomy and they gravitate towards junk. I think now people are realizing the value of the unpaid work done by women folk in their homes.
@likemy
traditional indian snack foods like chana and daal are pretty healthy, but it seems they are getting displaced by the more calorically dense and less sating American style snack foods. We could blame the companies making and marketing these, but the fact is they've had decades worth of product research with which they've engineered some delicious stuff. It's hard to stay away from fries, kettle cooked potato chips, soda, etc.
@bhaskarchatterjee5249
Weird how India despite being a 3rd world country has simultaneously epidemics of obesity and starvation, opulence and poverty in stark contrast existing together and we turn a blind eye to the unhealthy and dangerous consequences of processed and packaged foods while trying to resemble the west in our lifestyle choices
@HetalOza112
The USA faced the same obesity problem, not just in adults but also in children back in the 1990s- early 20s. Obesity issues began when Indians adopted the 'American' lifestyle or in general a Western lifestyle.
@vidyachavan6133
Thanks for making this Video..
Irony is that the gap between the poor and rich is ever increasing in India... Hence you see increase in the malnourished children (especially under 5) along with increase in the over nourished children.. Government is constantly been battling the issue for undernourished children however it has no say on over nourished category. You have not included
CHATS which forms the huge part of junk food here.. these chats are usually made up of white flour and deep fried in oil/ghee.
WHITE FLOUR BASED FOODS like naan, paratha etc., which forms the everyday food in northern part of India..
WHITE RICE - which forms the basic food in southern and Eastern India.
BIRIYANI (Rice and meat based spicy food) - which is the number one seller in the country.
BUTTER - which is used generously in all sorts of north Indian food..
All these are also reason for rising obesity in the people here...
Another factor is that people have forgotten their roots aka their traditional food and traditional lifestyle (which are seasonal in nature and scientifically alligned too whether its celebrating festival or food intake.) and also spiritual practices like Yoga, meditation to name a few...
@officialaalamjotsingh9465
as an Indian myself working in a metropolitan, healthy food is an after-thought, there are new food startups that are aiming at healthy low calorie and high protein food at fast food speeds, but it will take time to blend in the unhealthy food scene, restaurants, street vendors and cloud kitchens are also trying to include health options ,also a misconception that vegetarian foods don't have protein, milk, butter-milk and curd are excellent sources of protein the calorie/gram of protein is comparable to meats like pork and beef.

很高興看到這個(gè)話題被討論。這些問(wèn)題并非印度獨(dú)有,但我們面臨一些不利的因素。南亞人似乎在較低的BMI下就會(huì)患上糖尿病和心血管疾病,原因尚不明確。有一種理論認(rèn)為視頻中提到的饑荒,尤其是帝國(guó)時(shí)期的嚴(yán)重饑荒,從基因上“塑造”了印度人易患這些疾病的體質(zhì)。盡管南亞人在英國(guó)總?cè)丝谥姓急容^小,但在我的患者中卻占了很大的比例,且問(wèn)題在年輕時(shí)就會(huì)出現(xiàn)。其次,印度食物制作耗時(shí),女性已經(jīng)承擔(dān)了大部分育兒和家務(wù)責(zé)任,進(jìn)入職場(chǎng)后,她們特別容易選擇加工食品以簡(jiǎn)化生活。第三,印度的工作文化緊張(比如Narayana Murthy昨天提議每周工作70小時(shí)),即使是年輕的單身人士也沒(méi)有時(shí)間做出健康的選擇或在家做飯,Swiggy等外賣平臺(tái)太方便了。自從我上世紀(jì)80年代出生以來(lái),印度的平均腰圍的變化如此巨大。但金錢主宰一切,每個(gè)政府都?xì)g迎跨國(guó)公司。

一個(gè)大問(wèn)題是成年人不斷給孩子們糖和垃圾食品,他們認(rèn)為這是對(duì)孩子的款待,表達(dá)了對(duì)孩子的愛(ài)。如果你試圖阻止他們,他們會(huì)認(rèn)為你太嚴(yán)格,破壞了樂(lè)趣。所有垃圾食品都應(yīng)標(biāo)注為“兒童不宜食用”。

I think it's not just the food that needs to be changed but the mental health also needs to be address. They both are lixed together. Having a bad day, people will junk and now too much junk food will put them into bad mental health.
我認(rèn)為不僅需要改變食物,還需要解決心理健康問(wèn)題,它們是相互關(guān)聯(lián)的。心情不好時(shí),人們會(huì)吃垃圾食品,而現(xiàn)在過(guò)多的垃圾食品會(huì)使他們的心理健康狀況惡化。
A very similar situation where I live in Malaysia. Highly processed snacks and foods being sold on all corners at all times of day, horrible work-life balance so no time or energy to cook, lack of / completely decrepit community areas so no way to play sports or do physical activity without having to drive halfway across town.
我生活在馬來(lái)西亞,情況非常相似。高度加工的零食和食品在一天中的任何時(shí)候都在各個(gè)角落出售,工作與生活平衡極差,沒(méi)有時(shí)間或精力做飯,社區(qū)區(qū)域缺乏或完全破敗,所以沒(méi)有地方進(jìn)行體育活動(dòng)或鍛煉,除非開(kāi)車穿過(guò)半個(gè)城市。

Time. Plain and simple. Indian food takes a lot of time to prepare generally speaking. Additionally, both parents are usually working long hours these days and joint family structures are not very common anymore. This breakup of family time takes a toll on everyone.
原因是時(shí)間,簡(jiǎn)單明了。一般來(lái)說(shuō),印度食物需要很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間準(zhǔn)備。此外,現(xiàn)在父母通常工作時(shí)間很長(zhǎng),聯(lián)合家庭結(jié)構(gòu)不再常見(jiàn),這種家庭時(shí)間的分裂對(duì)每個(gè)人都有影響。
No body ate out 2023 years ago, mc Donald’s was so expensive you couldn’t afford it. Everyone cooked at home when a guest came and the local sweet maker or savoury maker would cook things from scratch in their shop and you would bring them over once in a blue moon. Even fruit juice was impossibly expensive. The only occasional treat was maggi noodles which did make you feel sick. Cook at home from scratch and you won’t be obese.
2023年前沒(méi)有人外出就餐,麥當(dāng)勞太貴了,你買不起??腿藖?lái)時(shí),每個(gè)人都在家做飯,當(dāng)?shù)氐奶瘘c(diǎn)或咸味食品制作者會(huì)在他們的店里從頭開(kāi)始制作食物,你偶爾會(huì)帶一些過(guò)來(lái)。即使是果汁也貴得離譜。唯一的偶爾享用的是Maggi面條,但它確實(shí)讓你感到惡心。在家從頭開(kāi)始做飯,你就不會(huì)肥胖。
Obesity time bomb is quite a bit of an exaggeration. I mean 8% obese men and 12% obese women in 2035 while in most of Latin America it's now already approaching 30% and it's now already 42% in the usa. It will probably be close to 50% in those countries by 2035... the numbers of India aren't too bad then.
肥胖定時(shí)炸彈有點(diǎn)夸張。我的意思是到2035年,印度只有8%的男性和12%的女性肥胖,而在大多數(shù)拉丁美洲國(guó)家,現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)接近30%,在美國(guó)已經(jīng)是42%。到2035年,這些國(guó)家可能會(huì)接近50%……印度的數(shù)字還不算太糟。
For years Indian women who were disrespected and whose work was seen as having no value by the men, used to invest their time in cooking healthy meals at home. Now women have started going out to work and earning. So with more money and less time, children have more autonomy and they gravitate towards junk. I think now people are realizing the value of the unpaid work done by women folk in their homes.
多年來(lái),印度女性一直得不到尊重,她們的工作被男性視為沒(méi)有價(jià)值,她們過(guò)去常?;〞r(shí)間在家烹飪健康的飯菜?,F(xiàn)在女性開(kāi)始外出工作和賺錢,因此,隨著更多的錢和更少的時(shí)間,孩子們有更多的自主權(quán),他們傾向于選擇垃圾食品。我認(rèn)為現(xiàn)在人們應(yīng)該開(kāi)始意識(shí)到女性在家中無(wú)償工作的價(jià)值。
traditional indian snack foods like chana and daal are pretty healthy, but it seems they are getting displaced by the more calorically dense and less sating American style snack foods. We could blame the companies making and marketing these, but the fact is they've had decades worth of product research with which they've engineered some delicious stuff. It's hard to stay away from fries, kettle cooked potato chips, soda, etc.
傳統(tǒng)的印度小吃如鷹嘴豆和扁豆非常健康,但似乎它們正在被熱量更高、飽腹感更差的美國(guó)風(fēng)格小吃所取代。我們可以責(zé)怪制造和營(yíng)銷這些食品的公司,但事實(shí)是它們已經(jīng)進(jìn)行了幾十年的產(chǎn)品研究并設(shè)計(jì)出了一些美味的東西。我們很難遠(yuǎn)離薯?xiàng)l、鍋煮薯片、蘇打水等。
Weird how India despite being a 3rd world country has simultaneously epidemics of obesity and starvation, opulence and poverty in stark contrast existing together and we turn a blind eye to the unhealthy and dangerous consequences of processed and packaged foods while trying to resemble the west in our lifestyle choices
奇怪的是盡管印度是一個(gè)第三世界國(guó)家,卻同時(shí)存在著肥胖和饑餓、富裕和貧困的流行病,這些截然相反的現(xiàn)象并存,而我們對(duì)加工和包裝食品的不健康和危險(xiǎn)后果視而不見(jiàn),同時(shí)試圖在生活方式選擇上模仿西方。
The USA faced the same obesity problem, not just in adults but also in children back in the 1990s- early 20s. Obesity issues began when Indians adopted the 'American' lifestyle or in general a Western lifestyle.
美國(guó)在1990年代到21世紀(jì)初也面臨著同樣的肥胖問(wèn)題,不僅在成年人中,也在兒童中。肥胖問(wèn)題始于印度人采用“美國(guó)”生活方式或一般的西方生活方式。
Thanks for making this Video..
Irony is that the gap between the poor and rich is ever increasing in India... Hence you see increase in the malnourished children (especially under 5) along with increase in the over nourished children.. Government is constantly been battling the issue for undernourished children however it has no say on over nourished category. You have not included
CHATS which forms the huge part of junk food here.. these chats are usually made up of white flour and deep fried in oil/ghee.
WHITE FLOUR BASED FOODS like naan, paratha etc., which forms the everyday food in northern part of India..
WHITE RICE - which forms the basic food in southern and Eastern India.
BIRIYANI (Rice and meat based spicy food) - which is the number one seller in the country.
BUTTER - which is used generously in all sorts of north Indian food..
All these are also reason for rising obesity in the people here...
Another factor is that people have forgotten their roots aka their traditional food and traditional lifestyle (which are seasonal in nature and scientifically alligned too whether its celebrating festival or food intake.) and also spiritual practices like Yoga, meditation to name a few...
感謝制作這個(gè)視頻。
諷刺的是,印度的貧富差距越來(lái)越大……因此,你會(huì)看到營(yíng)養(yǎng)不良的兒童(尤其是5歲以下)和營(yíng)養(yǎng)過(guò)剩的兒童都在增加。政府一直在與營(yíng)養(yǎng)不良兒童的問(wèn)題作斗爭(zhēng),但對(duì)營(yíng)養(yǎng)過(guò)剩的類別卻無(wú)能為力。你還沒(méi)有提到:
CHATS食品,這是這里垃圾食品的很大一部分……這些CHATS食品通常由白面粉制成,并在油/酥油中油炸。
白面粉食品,如馕、帕拉塔等,這些是印度北部地區(qū)的日常食品。
白米——這是印度南部和東部地區(qū)的基本食物。
印度香飯(米飯和肉類的辛辣食品)——這是全國(guó)最暢銷的食品。
黃油——在印度北部的各種食物中大量使用。
所有這些也是這里的人們肥胖率上升的原因……
另一個(gè)因素是人們忘記了他們的根源,即他們的傳統(tǒng)食物和傳統(tǒng)生活方式(這些生活方式是季節(jié)性的,并且在科學(xué)上也是相匹配的,無(wú)論是慶祝節(jié)日還是食物攝入)以及精神實(shí)踐,如瑜伽、冥想等。
as an Indian myself working in a metropolitan, healthy food is an after-thought, there are new food startups that are aiming at healthy low calorie and high protein food at fast food speeds, but it will take time to blend in the unhealthy food scene, restaurants, street vendors and cloud kitchens are also trying to include health options ,also a misconception that vegetarian foods don't have protein, milk, butter-milk and curd are excellent sources of protein the calorie/gram of protein is comparable to meats like pork and beef.
作為一個(gè)在大都市工作的印度人,健康食品是事后才想到的,有一些新的食品初創(chuàng)公司旨在以快餐速度提供健康低卡路里和高蛋白食品,但這需要時(shí)間融入不健康的食品場(chǎng)景。餐廳、街頭小販和云廚房也在嘗試包括健康選項(xiàng),還有一個(gè)誤解是素食食品缺乏蛋白質(zhì),牛奶、酪乳和酸奶是蛋白質(zhì)的極好來(lái)源,其蛋白質(zhì)的卡路里/克與豬肉和牛肉等肉類相當(dāng)。
